“Ah, all that beautiful black and white,” observes Quentin Tarantino from a podium at Seattle’s Egyptian Theatre, flailing his arms like he’s had one espresso too many while critiquing an obscure forties film. “It’s enough to make you want to go skinny dipping in it – just jump onto the screen!” A half mile down Pine Street, at The Paramount Hotel, horror director Jeremy Kasten has both ears glued to the radio as his new movie, “The Attic Expeditions,” gets a five-star rating from a local FM station’s film critic. He grins with enthusiastic approval.
